So tomorrow many people have signed upto the challenge of an
alcohol free month with Macmillan Cancer.
Great benefits to sober October
·
Giving your body a nice well earned break before
the Christmas season begins
·
Feeling smug when everyone has a hangover and
you feel on good form
·
Getting back into a fitness regime, you can
become more than a ‘gym member’
·
Spending time doing old hobbies and new
·
You are setting a new routine, who knows it may stick after October
·
Extra spending money for December shopping and
events
Getting into good
health
·
Think about when you use antibacterial gel on
your hands, it is made from alcohol to remove any signs of bacteria! Exactly
the same happens when you drink alcohol you end up stripping your gut of
beneficial bacteria that can leave you feeling ‘alcohol blues’ and lower your
metabolism meaning weight gain is easier. During your detox include probiotics from live yoghurt, prebiotic foods such as banana and
onion and take a potent good probiotic.
·
Have plenty of liver supportive foods daily in your diet such as beetroot,
artichoke, onion and salmon to really help remove toxins from the system. You could even think about doing a 9
Day Detox to get you into
·
Have a challenge,
like a project that you want to have
completed at the end of the month so that you have a distraction from social
drinking activities, this could be a night class or a project that you schedule
in at home. This can be really rewarding
and could be the start of you doing hobbies you have not done in a while.
·
When you have friends around, you can get
non-alcoholic champagne from Waitrose if you don’t want to have obvious soft
drinks. However, this is a great time to experiment with mocktails. Invite your friends round and see who can be the most
creative. Go sober have some great recipes
